Four men were brutally caned 42 times for consuming alcohol and violating Sharia law on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.
An executor was photographed caning the four men in front of Islamic court officials as a crowd gathered on Monday, July 1.
Two of the convicts wore white tunics, while the other two were dressed in red tops printed with the name of the district attorney’s office before they took their turn to receive their punishments.
The four Acehnese men received 19 to 42 lashes for drinking alcohol, referred to as ‘khamar’ under Sharia law. A police officer with a microphone oversaw the punishments.
The three men who received 42 lashes were identified in the local press as M. Fais Akbar, Aulia Syahputra, and Yusdi, while Cukri Ramadhan received 19 lashes.
Before the punishment was administered, all the men underwent health checks by a team of medics and were deemed fit to serve their sentences.
According to Kompas, the caning was paused for one of the men after he groaned in pain after 10 lashes. Medics provided him with something to drink and checked his condition before the punishment resumed.
